History
The Landmark Nicosia occupies the building that opened on 2 February 1967 as the Hilton Cyprus, the island's first five-star hotel and a symbol of newly independent Cyprus's modernization. The project was conceived in June 1962 after President Makarios III met Conrad Hilton in New York during a US visit; the hotel was designed by Reglan Squire & Partners in collaboration with I. & A. Philippou Brothers and built by Ioannou & Paraskevaides. Inaugurated by President Makarios in the presence of Conrad Hilton, it became a social hub and hosted heads of state, and in 1974 served as the international press centre during the coup and Turkish invasion.
After operating as Hilton Nicosia for 55 years, the property was renamed The Landmark Nicosia on 1 June 2019. It was acquired in 2017 by Invel and Pangaea Investments, closed in October 2021 for an extensive renovation, and later reopened as The Landmark Nicosia, Autograph Collection, joining Marriott's Autograph Collection. Earlier major renovations occurred in 1982 and 1995.
